[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 19175, member: 707"] Well, if you're going to be doing melee fightin' you might want to get hold of a mithril chain shirt. There's a small failure chance, but the extra armor can be a big help, since you can give it some serious enchantments. That said, here's the "Suite" that you want to acquire. Once you have all of them, you start upgrading the +1 to +2, etc. Ring of Protection +1 (deflection bonus) Amulet of Natural Armor +1 (natural armor bonus) [i]Shield[/i] spell (+7 cover bonus) [i]Haste[/i] spell (+4 haste bonus) This gives you a total of +13, which would start you out at AC23 before Dex. If you used [i]Mage Armor[/i] or a mithril chain shirt without enhancements, it'd be bumped up to AC27 before Dex. Now you don't have access to [i]Haste[/i] just yet, but that's still AC23 before dex...not too shabby. Then you move up to +2 enchantments... :D [/QUOTE]
